Starved and Frozen During the German Drive. p. C. Walcott Tells of the Scenes of i Horror He Witnessed Along the Road From Warsaw to Plnsk Million Persons Homeless. i This I have seen. I could not believe it unless I had. seen it through and through. For sev eral weeks I lived with it; I went all about it and back of it; inside and out of It was shown to me until finally I came to realize that the Incredible was true. It Is monstrous, it is un thinkable, but -it exists. It Is the Prussian system. F. C. Walcott The following is n statement by F. C. "Walcott, who served as an assist ant to Mr. Hoover daring the time America vras doing "all that was pos sible to feed the starving millions of Belgium and Poland and northern France. In tills work lie was brought In direct contact with German military officials, and saw the conditions which the German Invasion had created among the civilian population: I went to Poland to learn tho facts concerning the remnant of a people that had been decimated by war. The country had been twice devastated. First the Russian army swept through It and then the Germans. Along the roadside from Warsaw to Plnsk, the present firing line, 230 miles, nearly half a million people had died of hun ger and cold. The way was strewn with their bones picked clean by the crows. With their usual thrift, the ' Germans wero collecting tho larger bones to be milled into fertilizer, but finger and toe bones lay on the ground with the mud-covered and rain-soaked clothing. "Wicker baskets were scattered along the way the basket In which the baby swings from the rafter In every peas ant home. Every mile there were Bcores of them, each one telling a death. I started to count, but after a little I had to give It up, there were so many. That Is the desolation one saw along the great road from Warsaw to Plnsk, mile after mile, more than two hun dred miles. They told me a million people were made homeless In six weeks of the German drive In August nnd September, 1010. They told me four hundred thousand died on the way. The rest, scarcely half alive, got through with the Russian army. Many of these have been sent to Si beria; It Is these people whom the Paderewski committee Is trying to re lieve. In tho refugee camps, 300,000 sur vivors of the flight were gathered by the Germans, menbers of broken fam ilies. They were lodged In Jerry-built barracks, scarcely water-proof, un lighted, unwarmed In the dead of win. ter. Their clothes, where the' buttons were Jcrr. wero sewed on. There were Ml L no couvi. . ices, iney nna not even been able to vrdi for weeks. Filth end infection i.'oro vermin wero. Bpreodlmj. They wero fnralshcd, their Back up our boys at the froht.'

Hall's Family PjlU for constipation. arflly ration a cup of soup and a piece of bread as big as my flsL In Warsaw, which had not been de stroyed, a city of ono million Inhab itants, one of the most prosperous cit ies of Europe before the war, tho streets were lined with people In the pangs of starvation. Famished nnd rain-soaked, they squatted there, with their elbows on their knees or lean ing against the buildings, too fecblo to lift a hand for a bit of money or a morsel of bread If one offered It, per ishing of hunger nnd cold. Charity- did what It could. Tho rich gave nil that they had. tho poor shored their last crust. Hundreds of thousands were perishing. Day nnd night tho pictures Is before my eyes a people starving, a nation dying. The nbovo statement' by Mr. 'Wal-. cott Is a terrible arraignment of the nun. but no more terrible than ho deserves. What has happened In Poland, In Belgium, In northern Franco and every other country that has been blighted by the nun's pres ence would happen In America should the allies, by any chance, fall to win this war. It would mean the enslave ment of American men, the starving and death of American women and chil dren. Either tho Hun or humanity must perish.
